The majority of people spend more time at their jobs than they do at home, which, if you’re one of the unlucky ones in a toxic work environment, can breed resentment extremely quickly. It’s a shame, but it’s not uncommon for most to shape their hopes and dreams around what happens in their lives outside of work.

What would you do if you finally had enough of your mind-numbing corporate gig? One man recently shared his approach to his personal situation with Reddit. Here’s what he said.

I’m… free. I’m finally free.

Today was the last of my 2 weeks at my corporate job.

I have nothing lined up and… it feels amazing.

That’s when you KNOW you’re getting out of a toxic job.

I wrote up a budget and basically live like a miser, so I’ve got about 4 years worth of savings to live on.

I’m never going back.

This person sounds positively liberated.

I intend to spend the next several months in deep soul searching to figure out my next move and to start drafting the framework for a new life.

I left on fantastic terms and have 20+ people offering to give me glowing recommendations if I need to apply to places in the future.

Wow…what did this place do to him?

I’ve escaped.

It finally happened!

It’s moments like this where it’s impossibly easy to feel happy for, but also wildly jealous of, other people.

Let’s see how the good people of Reddit chimed in.

The comments section was full of sincere congratulations.

And many stood in solidarity with him.

Others showed some good-natured concern.

Some commended him for playing the long game.

And some people took the time to revel in their own escape.

No job pays as well as freedom feels.
